Re: Goal machine Noble
Totally agree. We constantly get pissed on at International level because we dont have the skill, guile or ability to keep possession. Yet our fans constantly harp on about speed and size.
I had no idea Nobles record was that good and you cant really argue with those kind of stats. The lad is obviously a natural and players like that dont need to be holding the ball up or knock centre halves all over the place. Thats what players like Bendtner are for. Noble just has to be busy around the box and keep chasing any causing like Phillips did in his early days. The lad cant do any more ate reserve level and should be brought in to develop.
Disagree about Owen mind. He had a young face but he was physically mature at that age. Short and strong.
And build.
People on here bang on all the time about how the English game only allows big lads to shine and academies don't give the smaller lads a chance because of their build and then say the same shite when people mention Noble.
"not big enough"
"too lightweight"
"needs to put on some size like"
"blah blah"
Keep saying it. Michael Owen looked about 12 and Modric looks about 8. Both fantastic players. There are many many out there in the same boat. Ability is what we should look for, not what they look like..
